Welcome... to Daytona 500 - Florida!
We are delighted to be heading back to Florida for the most prestigious race in the NASCAR series, hosted throughout by friend, supporter and motoring legend Tiff Needell.
We’ll be avoiding Daytona’s multi chain hi-rise hotels and returning to the undiscovered gem of New Smyrna Beach just twenty minutes south of the Speedway. A relaxed location with an attractive marina and a lively ‘downtown’ area with numerous restaurants, bars, shops and popular sandy beach.
A fabulous few days to enjoy all the fun of what Florida has to offer – and not just the motor racing! An amazing event and we very much look forward to welcoming you!
Create your perfect weekend from the following... any questions? Just ask.
“There is nothing like Florida for some February sunshine! So why not join me for a fabulous long weekend at Daytona 500!”

Day 2 Friday
After breakfast you’ll have the opportunity to explore the town and beach area at your leisure. We’ll meet up early afternoon and transfer by chauffeured vehicle to Daytona’s famous Motorsport Speedway.
At the circuit we will soak up the atmosphere of the infield where loyal and enthusiastic NASCAR fans create a unique ‘village’ before heading into the exclusive Fanzone to watch the teams prepare for the first big race of the weekend - the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race.
100 laps and run under floodlights, this is normally one of the wildest races of the weekend where up and coming youngsters try to make a name for themselves, often providing some spectacular spills and thrills.
Day 3 Saturday
Today is all about flexibility. Maybe enjoy a day at leisure on your own with time to relax in and around New Smyrna Beach or sign up for one of our specially created experiences.
1. Tiff’s Tour: After a leisurely breakfast we head back to the speedway for a visit to The Motorsports Hall of Fame Museum. Next stop its downtown Daytona and a drive down to the famous beach where Sir Malcolm Campbell set numerous World Land Speed records. Moving further south we arrive at the original home of Daytona for lunch at “North Turn- Beach Grill” the exact location where racing began in 1927 before it moved to the Speedway in 1959. Then its back to the hotel to refresh before heading out to the quarter mile New Smyrna Raceway for some grass roots American racing complete with cold beers and hotdogs all round!
2. Back to the Speedway If you wish to spend the day at the circuit we can provide you with a car and driver for the day and reserved grandstand seats to enjoy the NASCAR XFINITY Series 300 –the second tire of NASCAR Racing.
3. Capt Doug’s Sea Fishing Charter A day’s deep sea fishing with Capt Doug who has been working the waters around Daytona and New Smyrna since he could hold a fishing rod. “I have been fishing with ol’ Doug Hicks for the past five seasons. I have told every living person I know about his fishing charters – Quite simply the best in Daytona!”
4. Kennedy Space Centre Fancy a day away from cars, track and racing? Then maybe a visit to the famous Kennedy Space Centre (formerly Cape Canaveral) where you can visit NASA’s launch complex, the astronaut hall of fame, or even see a rocket launch! All just an hour from the hotel and includes a car and driver for the day.
Day 4 Sunday
Gentlemen…start your engines!
Today its raceday and after breakfast we head to the Speedway.
There will be plenty of time to explore the extensive merchandising area before heading back into the exclusive Fanzone where the atmosphere is building with live stage entertainment and the chance to get close to the cars before getting in position for the driver introductions.
From here it’s a short walk across the hallowed banked track with escalators taking you directly to your reserved premium grandstand seats in the popular ‘Pit In’ with spectacular views of the entire circuit.
There’s huge video screens, an excellent PA system and of course your personal headset Fanvision TV/Radios to ensure that you keep in touch with your favourite driver’s pit communication throughout the race.
After the spectacle of the big race and podium celebrations we’ll head back to New Smyrna for late dinner and a chance to review the day.
